[quote=Anonymous]Consider that Algebra goes on the HS transcript and the state Algebra exam is required to be passed (more or less) the same year it is taken. If your DD is ready for it (having completed pre-Algebra or feeling confident given the suggested readiness evaluation options the helpful poster provided), it should be fine. The course is standard no matter when taken (no accelerated/honors version), because of its importance as a foundation for life skills. There's no harm in waiting until 9th, unless she is aiming to complete an AP (e.g., Calculus) by graduation, which might be difficult to do without being accelerated or doubling up/taking a summer course.[/quote]
